I'm a professor based in Montreal and I contribute in English.[1] My interests include writing, names[2], communication theory, science communication[3], and cycling. Some of my favourite authors are John McPhee[4], Zadie Smith and Constance Hale. My recent writing has been for a non-academic audience and includes an essay to accompany an art exhibit and an article about a challenging name.[5]
